Sights from this past weekend

I believe blogger is working for me now. I can see all of my followers instead of only half of them and I can see the blogs I'm following in reader. (uh oh... I only saw seven followers when I previewed this, and dashboard says I have thirteen! What's going on?) I don't know what was wrong for so long, but I'm glad they fixed it; or at least I hope it stays fixed.(Please fix it!) Y'all are such creative little bees! I'm so impressed when I visit you blogs and see your projects! Such creative minds you have, my dears! I can't keep up with so many projects, but it's sure fun trying!

Hubby and I went to a couple of antique stores over the weekend, but everything was so high, we only got a couple of things. The stores I've seen are not decorated in the shabby chic decor I'm seeing on the blogs. I'm wondering how much it costs to have a booth and if it would be worth it. Do any of you know a ballpark range? I may call one that is several miles down the road just to see how much a booth costs. Who knows, y'all might just get to see me in a store one day! (while visions of sugar plums danced in her head!) I'll try not to keep y'all so long this time. Enjoy these pics. I'm reading the booklet to my camera a little at a time so hopefully after these photos, I'll be taking better pictures. Blessings from Bama!

The Magnolia in its hole of chirt. I hope it can live in this!

My white Christmas tree from the antique store. How do you clean these and other dusty, smelly things?

I am now an official picker! I picked this box full of goodies off the curb from the estate sale I went to.

Not sure what I'm going to do with the panels; that is an old stool that I plan to re-upholster; a can of rubbing compound for vehicles; and old planter; some dryer vent.

Josh and Tammy's wedding at the Noccalula Falls Wedding Chapel. Can you say ROLL TIDE! The theme of the wedding was the team Alabama. They even walked out to the Tide's theme song!

Such a beautiful bride in such a blurry photo!

Noccalula Falls is our local tourist attraction. It is situated right outside the Chapel.

I can't believe I took this good of a shot!

Same here!

Why didn't I zoom in?

Me and hubby outside Chapel, just before the bridge that crosses the creek.

I like those falls - beautiful! I have to admit I'd never heard of them before, but I'm not a world traveler! I hope you do look into a little booth - it might be a fun career! Glad Blogger's finally working, too!
